The 142-year-old Sassoon Docks, Western India’s first wet docks, and one of Mumbai’s oldest, is not where Mumbaikars choose to spend their weekends. Till December 30, however, St+Art India, a street art foundation, is changing their minds.

With murals, installations, screenings, talks, audio-visual experiences and curated tours, the #SassoonDocksArtProject invites people to step into the world of the fishing community. The project is inspired from the docks, the Koli community and Mumbai itself. Over 30 artists from India and across the world have come together to transform the almost-forgotten area, located at the tip of the city.

The Sassoon Docks Art Project is on till December 30. Follow St+Art India on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates on the festival; the project is open for public from Thurs-Sun, 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Read more about the festival here.
